Games where two Atlai get headshot at 800m+ by snipers in the first two minutes... *thats* aimbot hacking. At that range the head is barely one pixel in size on most screens, so having it happen twice in 30 seconds by the same pilot is very damning evidence (and gets a report sent to Support email).
So som1 using a 42" screen where said atlas head is much more than a pixel smaller than the size of a needle point on a small 22" screen, and headshoting them is cheat ?
Now i dont use sniping mechs myself, but i can easily hit some of the 'harder' head shots becouse i do have a 42" screen, everything is bigger. But i paid £1000 for my Plasma TV when i got it.
Not trying to get into an argument here, but saying that som1 is cheating becouse they got a shot like that done, and attributing it to the asumption they are using a small screen and thus the point to aim and hit is so small and impossible to hit, is not sound, becouse people can and do use much larger screens.
As for the whole macro arugment.
AC2 macro has been talked to death about. the end result is ..its not a cheat ..its not a hack ..its not evne a shortcut, becouse it actually lower DPS, and make aiming harder due to dmg spread. its all for theatrics.
The UAC5 anti jam macro is simular, Even with a precisly timied macro to gain as much dps without jaming a possible, u still get MUCH more DPS without the macro when using the UAC5's double shot ability and thats whilst including jamming.
The User.cfg file has many grpahics options availabe that are not in the game options, u can tweek these urself and its perfectly legit, u can remove the distant blur so u can see things slightly more clearly, or disable other effects to speed up for FPS. These are all graphics options like in any other game, the only difference is, the game Developer hasnt bothered ot make a fancy in game UI to make it simpler for users to alter. So changing user.cfg options is NOT cheating. Any change that works in game, is legit, PGI can and have disabled the ones they dont want ppl messing with, like brightness (so u can see easier on night maps), However u can get around that by using 3rd party programs like SweetFX, which again although technicaly not cheating (becouse it doesnt alter game files) it can be frowned apon.
Are there hacks/cheats available ..porbably, i honestly havnt looked BUT, asuming som1 is cheating bassed on the limited information we have at our disposal is obsurd.
'cheating' is such a broad term nowerdays due to the ways in which it can be done, and thats only if som1 considers it cheating in the first place.
For example, my idea of cheating is anything that gives a SIGNIFICANT advantage directly. (small indirect, like the use of expensive hardware, graphcis tweeks, simple macro's etc, are fine)
By directly i mean.
Aimbot, it direclty increase ur hit rate.
Speeds hacks, Damage buffs, Invisible walls. All are direct and big advantages.
But i also consider the use of Broken game mechanics as cheating becouse its pritty much the same as altering somthing to be OP to then use and beat people.
So poptarts with High alphas ..broken...
Super speedy lights with silly weapon loadout ..broken,
Massive high alpha builds. .broken.
you cheat , u unbalance the game. u use somthing alreayd unalanced. .the result is the same.
Now i use 'old fashion' senses of pride,honor, and morality. so many gamers nowerdays will laugh at such things, but its doesnt mean im wrong, it means the gaming society has gone downhil since the days i used to enjoy. Just becouse the majority has an opinion on somthing over a minority, doesnt make the majority correct, history has shown us this.
